Formula 1 is bringing back its Las Vegas street race with a fresh ticket play: organizers announced Tuesday that seats for the 2026 Las Vegas Grand Prix will go on sale in early May, with a public on-sale set for Thursday, May 7 at 10 a.m. PDT and an American Express presale ahead of that. The race weekend is scheduled for Nov. 19 to 21, and single-day general admission is set to return, starting at $50.

According to a press release from the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, American Express Card Members get a 48-hour presale beginning Tuesday, May 5 at 8 a.m. PDT, before the general public sale opens Thursday, May 7 at 10 a.m. PDT. Emily Prazer, president and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc., said "we have a clearer picture than ever of the experiences our fans are looking for," framing the 2026 ticket menu as a response to lessons learned from prior runnings.

Ticket types and prices

Single-day general admission will be tiered by day: practice on Thursday, Nov. 19 starts at $50; qualifying on Friday, Nov. 20 starts at $99; and race day on Saturday, Nov. 21 starts at $393. A three-day Flamingo Zone general admission option is listed from $492, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Hospitality and premium spaces

The top-shelf hospitality is back as well, with price tags to match. Gordon Ramsay at F1 Garage packages start around $28,885, Wynn Grid Club options come in at about $25,997, and the Trackside Tavern at the Paddock Club rooftop begins near $10,902. Club and skybox offerings, including Skybox with the Heineken Silver Main Grandstand and Turn 3 Club, are also on the menu, according to the event press release from the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Presales, deposits and payment plans

Fans can secure priority access and have certain fees waived by placing a deposit through April 30, and flexible, interest-free payment plans are available through Sept. 15, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. American Express is listed as the official payments partner and is offering its Card Members early access while supplies last.

Local context and demand

Organizers say they are reshaping the ticket ladder after years of heavy demand; the promoter has noted that past editions have sold out and argues the new structure is meant to broaden access. Industry coverage has framed the updated pricing as a calculated move to keep attendance strong, per Sports Business Journal, while local reporting last year questioned how similar ticketing tweaks fit into broader tourism trends as the race adds single-day tickets amid tourism slump.

Tickets and full seating maps will be offered through official outlets and partner sellers, and organizers are signaling that demand will be brisk once the virtual gates open. For the full ticket timeline, seating breakdown and pricing details, see Formula 1's race guide.
